Getting the balance right

With a majority of the large companies, organisations and government departments taking advice and guidance from CPNI, CPNI is working to promote the Surveillance Camera Code of Practice amongst those people that are applying some of the best security within the UK. Good security is about both the protection of assets and individuals while being balanced with robust policies, procedures and buy in of all stakeholders, customers and the public. As CNI are often the leaders in high end security, it is vital that sites have proportionate and fit for purpose security, both themes that run through the code and the national surveillance camera strategy.

Another theme running through both the CNI strand and other strands of the strategy is helping those that run and manage surveillance systems to understand the code and the simplification of “what the code means to you”. The CNI strand will be dovetailing with the other strands on items such as training, standards, consultants, as well as producing information specific to the CNI to guide them through the code and how to apply it to CNI sites.
